Comments Thread For: Alexander Povetkin Cracks WBO's Top Ten After Recent Win

[1hourRun]

Pops dirty seven months ago, back in possession of minor titles from the WBA,WBO an ranked #8. by the World Boxing Organization

-- I guess the WBA figured that given that Pulev and Ortiz have their dates for the next two years with a possible voluntary for the winner of A.J - Klitschko it be pointless right now to elevate Sasha to a top spot whereas the WBO sees the potential of a fight with the winner of Parker-Fury, in addition it could even be a vulontary for them considering Hughie is already the mando for Parker...business as usual.

The WBO are a bunch of clowns to have such atrocious rankings. What has Hughie Lewis done to deserve the #1 spot? There is absolutely no justification for having Fury and Hammer as your 1 and 2. Boxing BS at its finest.

Hughie Fury became number 1 because every other fighter infront of him (he was ranked number 5 when he became mandatory) opted for different fights worth more money or to fight for different belts.

It was just a little bit of Ostarine doeeee

I actually got curious and tried Ostarine for four weeks. No drama there, slightly faster recovery and maybe a little less sore after hard weight training. A PED for sure but not a very potent one. Meldonium is practically useless for a healthy athlete, even WADA banned it just to be sure. - That religious freedom pic.. excellent!

This is false: Hughie refused to face Miller in a four man WBO tournament, Joey Parker fought Andy Ruiz for the WBO not some other title - David Haye is the only one that went on to face Tony Bellend for a lucrative purse.

He got a UD and his punches look weak again.

Must be off his meds.

His opponent (Andrei Rudenko) has a concrete chin and was never lost by a knockout

I saw only one disgrace in his last fight. He is fighting so slowly when he does not use PEDs

No its not... you're forgetting Klitschko was ahead in the rankings too but opted to fight Joshua for the IBF and WBA. Not participating in the tournament was irrelevant as Fury was ahead of Miller in the rankings... hence why he's mandatory.

You mentioning Klitschko is irrelevant nobody even knew if Wladimir was going to fight again after Tyson Fury wasted almost two years of the mans final years in the sport.

But you know something you might be right I forgot this cheat had his ban lifted and they reinstated him but the truth of the matter is Tyson was punished and lost his titles but Hughie has been free on any consequence for failing the exact same test that his cousin failed...and now the WBO rewards him despite failing a drug test AND refusing to take part in its proposed tournament -- but I guess his ranking is legit.
